🌟 Briefly describe the feature

Adding disk space check + way to clean up if the disk is full

📝 Detailed description

I keep running into the scenario where /boot/efi is full. This prevents the script from cleaning up the kernels itself (thanks apt-get...) It would be possible to add a function that takes this into account and also displays an output of the currently available kernels in /boot/efi, where the user can then clean up here with 1-2 keystrokes.

💡 Why is this useful?

Up to now, manual cleanup has always been mandatory, which can be cumbersome. Only then does this script work properly.

I didn't have any disk space to clean up but the rest of the script was a success:

Of course, I manually cleaned up the space in the time being. But in any case it happens again, I know where to check :P

The script is not lost, just not unnecessarily in the main (untested).

If you think of it, test it when it's ready and comment again.
